Pitch hack

Never said they were?
But a "merchant" should be smart enough to know when something is fishy...

I don't really merch in the mts very much, but while we thought that something was fishy, we figured there would either be a rollback or nexon would do what they usually do and stick their heads in the sand. Frankly we were both hoping for the former, but to be caught with no chaos scrolls if nexon decided that the game was better with thousands upon thousands of the stupid scrolls in circulation would also be in bad judgement on a merchant's part.

The biggest issues imo--
They didnt manage to ban the real hackers. Sure, they got some fake accounts that probably had most of the nx xfered off of it, and sure, they got some users, but they also banned a bunch of users that although they were playing the market, really weren't trying to break the game. Nexon's GM Tibaroo says that a lot of chaos scrolls were deleted, but users were banned if they were determined to have

Additionally, players that abused this situation have either been banned or had their Chaos Scrolls deleted, depending on how they contributed to this situation.

The issue Laura has is that her account was banned rather than the chaos scrolls deleted, when it was clear that she was not someone duping. For a merchant, losing the majority of one's in game currency + however much nx they spent is pretty awful, but there's nothing more distressing than losing a main account/character that you've put so much time/effort/money into for years.

Also: To the people asking if the bans are permanent~~
The message received by many = "This id has been deleted or blocked from the game" which is a permanent ban I believe, as no date of unbanning was issued.
